Obama Meeting with Families of Cole and 9/11 attacks

President
Obama has a meeting scheduled tomorrow with families of those killed in
the terrorist attack on the Cole and the families of 9/11 victims most
likely to discuss with them dropping charges on one of the Cole bombers.

...it is noteworthy that, before the appointing authority acted this
evening, Obama had scheduled a meeting for tomorrow afternoon with
victims and families of victims not only of the Cole bombing but of of
the 9/11 attacks. At a minimum, he appeared poised to announce he was
dropping the Cole charges against Nashiri. All evening, however, it has
been floated from several knowledgeable sources that the president was
prepared to announce the dismissal of all the commission cases -- i.e.,
not only against Nashiri but against Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and the
other 9/11 plotters. That suggestion is supported by the fact that the
9/11 families were invited to the White House meeting: there would have
been no need to invite them to discuss an announcement that impacted
only the Cole case.

Dismissals, if they happened, would surely be couched as "without
prejudice." That is, Obama would be able to tell the families --
whether he meant it or not -- that he could always re-file military
commission charges if he ultimately decided that commissions, rather
than civilian trials, were the best way to go.

President
Obama is going to talk to the families of 9/11 victims and those killed
on the U.S.S.Cole. From what we have seen of the president these past
few weeks, his talking to them will be very nice, and their concerns
will have no affect on his position, whatsoever. Rather like "inviting"
the opposition in for a talk and telling them, "I won."

According
to the Post, among those who will be in attendance are family members
opposed to the decision. Also quoted in the story is Retired Navy Cmdr.
Kirk S. Lippold, the commanding officer on board the USS Cole when it
was attacked in Yemen in October of 2000. He's been a vocal critic of
Obama's order closing the facility, accusing the president of failing
to take into account the effect his decision would have on the families
of al Qaeda's victims. The Post quotes one unnamed activist
dramatically warning that the event may produce "fireworks."

Comments

Since Obama’s earnest drive to convince the nation to weaken its economic strength through redistribution as well as weaken its national defense, has confirmed the very threats to our Republic’s survival that the Constitution was designed to avert, it no longer is sustainable for the United States Supreme Court and Military Joint Chiefs to refrain from exercising WHAT IS THEIR ABSOLUTE CONSTITUTIONAL DUTY TO DEFEND THE NATION FROM UNLAWFUL USURPATION. The questions of Obama’s Kenyan birth and his father’s Kenyan/British citizenship (admitted on his own website) have been conflated by his sustained unwillingnes to supply his long form birth certificate now under seal, and compounded by his internet posting of a discredited “after-the-fact” short form ‘certificate’. In the absence of these issues being acknowledged and addessed, IT IS MANIFEST THAT OBAMA REMAINS INELIGIBLE TO BE PRESIDENT UNDER ARTICLE 2 OF THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION. Being a 14th Amendment “citizen” is not sufficient. A “President” MUST BE an Article 2 “natural born citizen” AS DEFINED BY THE FRAMERS’ INTENT.
